Sidney Verba
Sidney Verba (1932- ) is an American academic, a Harvard faculty As a member of the Harvard faculty, Verba's contributions to the life of the scholarly community extend beyond the realm of his academic discipline or his administrative title. For example, even though he "retired" in 2007, he continued to chair a University Committee on Calendar Reform which had begun its work in 2003. This committee was composed of students (undergraduate and graduate) and faculty members drawn from across the University’s Schools and Faculties. In 2008, the Committee's efforts reached fruition as Harvard President Drew Faust announced the adoption of a coordinated academic calendar that synchronizes the academic schedules of Harvard’s 13 Schools. Verba's committee managed to preserves the traditional eight-day reading periods for undergraduates, one of the best features of the former calendar, while eliminating impediments to student cross-registration. No less important, the Verba committee's work helped to aligns Harvard’s calendar with those of most colleges and universities in the U.S., making it easier for Harvard students to compete for internships, study-abroad experiences, and work opportunities during breaks and summer vacation. [ [http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2008/02.07/99-calendar.html "Harvard announces coordinated academic calendar."] "Harvard Gazette." January 15, 2008.] Librarian Harvard President Derek Bok named Verba to be director of When Verba retired from the post, he had served longer than anyone else who had held the title of director of the University Library; and not since Four specific areas in which Verba's contributions at Harvard have become the model for other academic and research libraries: Controversy Verba's tenure as University Librarian has encompassed controversies which could not have been anticipated. Harvard-Google digitization partnership Verba was ultimately responsible for Harvard's participation in the idney Verba Endowment Fund Friends and colleagues of Sidney Verba have established a $2.5 million endowment fundin his honor. The Fund benefits the Harvard University Library, which provides University-wide services, including digital acquisitions and collections, information technology, high-density storage, and preservation. Under the terms creating the fund, Verba himself was given the freedom to designate the purpose of the new endowment. [ [http://hul.harvard.edu/news/2007_0329.html "Library Visiting Committee Announces $2.5 Million Endowment Fund to Honor Sidney Verba; the new Sidney Verba Library Fund will benefit programs of the Harvard University Library,"] HUL news archive (2007).] Political Scientist However significant his work with Harvard's libraries, part of Verba's achievement has been that he somehow managed it all while remaining engaged as a political scientist. Most scholars put their own research on hold when they assume a time-consuming administrative role in the University -- not so Sidney Verba, who believed that his faculty position was "supposed to be a real job." During his years as HUL director, he maintained a halftime teaching load while also pursuing independent resarch projects. [see above] ] The central focus of Verba's work as a political scientist can be summed up in one word -- "participation." Expanding the subject somewhat, that topic might be elaborated to "the issues of political participation by different groups." The great framing question of his work has been, "Whose voice is heard by the government?" Verba himself argues that issues having to do political participation have become central in America's political discourse today; [see above] ] but he attributes his initial interest in the subject to the prescient encouragement of his mentor, Professor In retirement, he continues to explore his longtime interest in "the citizen voice" with a new study of interest groups in the United States, asking whom they represent - ethnic groups, women, trade associations, professions. His research goal is to produce "a kind of statistical model of what the interest groups in the U.S. look like."

**"The possibility of a large-scale digitization of Harvard’s library books does not in any way diminish the University’s commitment to the collection and preservation of books as physical objects. The digital copy will not be a substitute for the books themselves. We will continue actively to acquire materials in all formats and we will continue to conserve them. In fact, as part of the pilot we are developing criteria for identifying books that are too fragile for digitizing and for selecting them out of the project." -- Sidney Verba. [see above] ]
